Veterans Group Will Not Accept Donations from Trump But the Reason Why Is the Story
Independent Sentinel ^

Posted on 01/28/2016 8:27:37 PM PST by TigerClaws

A Daily Caller story today reads, Veterans Group To Refuse Any Donations From Trump Fundraiser, but a lot is left out, perhaps deliberately. The short story nowhere mentions who and what this group is.

The reason why they won’t accept the funds is the story. Read on.

The story reads

A military veterans group told Donald Trump they do not want his money from his fundraiser for vets.

Both CNN and Fox ran with stories about this group turning down money.

He will have no trouble finding a veterans group willing to take the money!

Congressional Quarterly Weekly
Vets Group Gives McCain Bad Scores for Votes He Missed
By Shawn Zeller

A month before Election Day, a prominent veterans’ service organization gave Sen. Barack Obama a bit of a lift with a grade of “B” for his votes on issues important to veterans over the past two years and, more significant, handed his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, a “D.”

Those leftwing America hating vets shouldn’t be given a cent. I knew a few democrats when I was on active duty. Most were pansy asses that ended up getting kicked out.

Really hoping for a backlash against this A-hole who is clearly more into imposing his politics on the IAVA members than in meeting their needs. If his members think their group could use $6 million they should give him a combat boot square in the ass and out the door.

It is only gonna get worse from here. I just saw a full fledged hit piece from local news (9 news in Denver) on Trump. The primaries are only the beginning. If we are going to win, it is going to get ugly. Just look at what is being said on FR.

I would like to hear what the IAVA Board of Trustees has to say about their Executive Director.

This is the same guy who thinks Hillary is the number one choice for veterans. That shows what this group is all about.

The good news is that Trump has close to 13 million on social media and is growing at about a million per month. That makes a huge difference towards fighting the media.

They had Anne Frank’s sister (!) saying Trump is a Nazi yesterday.

Gee, if they weren’t afraid of Trump you’d think they’d shut up until the general election before they attacked...

Trump has exposed FOX as an open borders outfit. He’s really shining the light on who stands where.

Ever started a thread here?

1. You have to say in an excerpt or you can’t post it;

2. They cap the word count;

3. It’s a possibly copyright violation to post more than an excerpt;

4. Some sites allow LINK ONLY - so not one word of the article appears.

There’s a movement afoot to take out Drudge making just POSTING THE TITLES a copyright violation.

But here’s more of the article:

Therefore there was no need for them to say a word except for partisan publicity.

At least they mentioned it wasn’t offered. It won’t be because they are not only liberal, they are hard left, and they are anti-gun.

If you want to know how far-left they are, know that they are tied to the likes of Maxine Waters, Democracy Now, Dennis Kucinich, Jim McDermott and other far-left radicals.

Stripes reported that they called for a nationwide parade to commemorate the end of the Iraq War which the Pentagon found unhelpful. They also oppose for-profit schools.

There are no dues to join so they can brag about 200,000 members and all their business and meetings are conducted online. If you give them a business card, you are instantly enrolled as a member. They don’t do anything on a community level and don’t bring veterans together. This is a political organization though they deny that.

Rieckhoff chooses the board. There are no elections. He writes for the Huffington Post and is a regular at liberal-think TED conferences. On Twitter, he posts hourly and wants more public attention and more recognition, especially from the secretary. It would be a fatal error to sit down with him since he’s been out to “get” every one of them.

I mentioned yesterday that they are nothing more than left wing shills and I was castigated by several Freepers. I have never seen anything positive about IAVA. I looked at joining them years ago and I saw nothing good.

Actually, that blog isn’t on the excerpt-only list. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1111944/posts

That said, FR’s problem with smart-quotes turning into nonsense characters makes it understandable to excerpt. Still, it’s a bit irritating to posit something significant and then hide the “punchline,” as it were, behind “a word from our sponsors.”

Much the same reason that the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, which Rush Limbaugh supported, asked Rush to stop promoting them on the air.

Well, it’s no worse now than when we had the McCainiacs to contend with. They were horrible, but we finally found out how they played their game .. and we beat them; every time.

It actually got to be fun.

So, don’t get upset at the idiots who have found out a lot of people at FR like Trump and Cruz .. and they want to stir up the pot a little. Just ignore them .. or laugh at them.

It has been posted four other times today. They are not who they claim to be.

Here is their Form 099. It is long. I don't see where they are helping the Vets as much as they are helping themselves. They are a political group pretending to be a nonpartisan 501c.
